You can use Icons2icns, and it will convert them and they should work just peachy. Thanks for the love guys!!! I made these on a windows machine, and I never got a chance to test them on OSX.

You can download the result here: http://irulan.net/dropbox/mailicons-mac.zip Since I have no authorisation for the artist for redistribution I will only leave it there for a couple of days and then remove it. To make your own icons out of simply any graphic, you can use Pixadex (http://www.iconfactory.com/px_home.asp). I have converted the PNG files to OS X icons via Pixadex.

I'm used to running Windows icons through Iconpgrapher (or similar) but even that doesn't work. :( Yeah, I can’t get them to work wither.

It continually surprises me that no one's made an implementation that "just works." In reading some talk on the subject, some seem to think that the protocol is just fundamentally broken and should be replaced, but I never hear of any actual work being done in that area.

I’m an IMAP fanatic myself, which is why I find I need the odd bit of light relief in the face of Mail.app’s IMAP quirks.
